The gradientificiation of Google logos continues this morning with a new Google Maps logo arriving.
Back in May of 2025, Google made one of the first major logo changes in years. It’s “G” logo had quietly switched over to a gradient style where the Google colors flowed together rather than being separated or blocked off individually. Google said nothing about the change at the time, but eventually did a few months later while also debuting a new Google Home logo. They’ve since updated other logos too, including Google Photos.
googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var mapping = googletag.sizeMapping().
addSize([0, 0], [[300, 100], [300, 250]]).
build();
googletag.defineSlot( ‘/1043061/DL_INJECT1’, [[300,100],[300,250],[300,600]], ‘gpt-ad-7034297989165-0’ )
.addService(googletag.pubads()).defineSizeMapping(mapping);
window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers = window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers || {};
const timers = window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers;
timers[‘gpt-ad-7034297989165-0’] = setTimeout( function () {
const id = ‘gpt-ad-7034297989165-0’;
document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( ‘aagam_empty_slot’, {detail: id} ) );
delete ( timers[id] );
}, 1000 );
if ( typeof window.advadsGamHasEmptySlotListener === ‘undefined’ ) {
googletag.pubads().addEventListener( ‘slotRequested’, function ( ev ) {
const id = ev.slot.getSlotElementId();
if ( typeof timers[id] === ‘undefined’ ) {
return;
}
clearTimeout( timers[id] );
timers[id] = setTimeout( function () {
document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( ‘aagam_empty_slot’, {detail: id} ) );
delete ( timers[id] );
}, 2500 );
} );
googletag.pubads().addEventListener( ‘slotResponseReceived’, function ( ev ) {
const id = ev.slot.getSlotElementId();
if ( typeof timers[id] !== ‘undefined’ ) {
clearTimeout( timers[id] );
delete ( timers[id] );
}
if ( ! ev.slot.getResponseInformation() ) {
document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( ‘aagam_empty_slot’, {detail: id} ) );
}
} );
window.advadsGamHasEmptySlotListener = true;
}
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display( ‘gpt-ad-7034297989165-0’ );
} );
Today, Google Maps and its logo received the same gradient upgrade to its logo and you should be seeing it on both Android and iOS. We woke up this morning to a completed overnight update that introduced it on our Pixel 10.
Is anything else new? There doesn’t seem to be. This is a logo update for Google Maps and nothing more. I say that because inside of the app, you’ll likely still see the old logo. Silly.
